The Zotarolimus-eluting Endeavor sprint stent in Uncertain DES candidates (ZEUS) M. Valgimigli, MD, PhD Erasmus MC, Rotterdam The Netherlands On behalf of the ZEUS Investigators
Background • Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce restenosis rates and consequently the risk of target vessel failure as compared to bare metal stents (BMS). • However, first generation devices have raised safety concerns due to an higher incidence of stent thrombosis • In order to restore safety to a level comparable to that shown after BMS implantation, a prolonged course of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has been therefore recommended after DES.
DAPT duration and DES • RCTs comparing DES vs BMS have so far mandated longer DAPT regimen after DES as compared to BMS OR a similarly prolonged course of DAPT in BMS patients (control group) so to match the extended course of therapy after DES • No study has so far disentangled the effects of DES vs BMS from those offered by long-term DAPT • No study has allowed for the shortest possible DAPT duration, i.e. 30 days, after DES, which is the accepted minimum Tx duration after BMS
Background • As a consequence, the use of DES instead of BMS remains controversial in selected patient/lesion subsets: • Pts at high bleeding risk – in whom long-term DAPT poses safety concerns • Pts at high thrombosis risk – whose risk for coronary events may be higher after DES • Pts at low risk for in-stent restenosis – the need for prolonged DAPT and the long-term risk for adverse events after DES implantation may outweigh their benefit in terms of low re-intervention rates Systematically Excluded from RCTs

Conclusions • in patients at high bleeding, thrombotic or low restenosis risk, E-ZES implantation followed by a personalized duration of DAPT, including no or a 30-day course of therapy, resulted in a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events as compared to BMS • Our study suggests that E-ZES may become the new gold standard coronary device in pts who cannot or refuse to tolerate (long-term) DAPT
